Tattooed thug Jeremy McConnell celebrated his freedom by taking his own lawyer on a night out - and pulling his pants down.

The Irish hunk, who also debuted his intricate skull tatt, was seen prowling the streets of Manchester with his blonde lawyer as he celebrated his tag removal.

Stripping off in the street, dad of one Jeremy was so eager to please befuddled onlookers he pulled down his tight night black jeans to reveal a gleaming pair of white boxers - his lawyer, believed to be Midlands solicitor Katie McCreath looked on.

It is believed the crew had been to trendy Neighbourhood bar to celebrate a pal's birthday - with one of his mates even tipping the local paper off that the ex lag was ready to party.

And the pants are out - because, why the hell not?

It all got a bit awkward

The skull tattoo was on show - and isn't it a beauty?

According to sources Jeremy was at the swish bar with his "girlfriend" - but onlookers only saw his lawyer - who represented Jeremy before he got banged up for assaulting ex girlfriend Stephanie Davis .

He was jailed after he missed vital community service appointments because he was getting a hair transplant in Turkey.

When you are making the decision to strip and it's cold

Showing off his recent skull tattoo and new piercings, the 27-year-old smirked as he left the club in the early hours. But pals told Mirror Online they fear a now free Jez is a concern.

Jez had an angel inked on one side of his skull, a key on the other side and a skull on the back - his tattooist later sold the video of the alarming tatt.

Sources confessed to the Mirror: "Jeremy has taken Steph moving on very badly, he's not dealing with it at all and has been on a downward spiral once again, and has taken to partying again very hard.

"This is Jeremy’s first big night out since having his tag removed. He's so desperate to regain public attention he's willing to do anything, including pulling his pants down

"He even invited his lawyer along for the night and his friends have flown over for it . Late Christmas he calls it on his Facebook . This is not a role model for his son and he's proved to everyone his true colours and that his birthday message to him was just another public show for attention."

Meanwhile ex Stephanie has been sharing a series of gym selfies as pals say she is determined to get her life together.

In October 2017 Jeremy had a nun snorting cocaine tattooed on to his arm with her rosary abandoned on the table in front of her.

And shortly after his release from jail, he got his prison number - which had only been in use for 34 days - inked on his leg as a reminder of what he had done.

A close friend of Jeremy told Mirror Online at the time: "Jez is making a clean start in 2018 and won’t go back to the life he had before.

"This tattoo will serve a reminder for him of a closed chapter of his life."
